Night, weekend and holiday calls can cost more than a scheduled weekday visit.

More square feet of wet flooring and walls means more extraction and more drying equipment.

What follows the initial emergency water extraction?

Structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers, daily readings and repairs once the building is dry.

Checking walls, floors and ceilings with meters and thermal cameras to find water that is not visible after extraction.
